Times of year that finches are most available?

[anne22]

I am guessing that there are certain months of the year that finches are more available than others. What months would they be, when are they the least availalbe and how does it vary from different varieties?

Depends on what country you live in?If you could fill that in in your profile that would be easier to answer.Here they are least available in the colder months, And people tend to hold them at the start of spring.Then they become available as the young are bread.Untill the start of winter again.

If you fill in your profile, it would help in answering your question, since it does vary from country to country, and even by species. Many of the African species that have been recently imported to the US still stick with their schedule in Africa, so they are breeding in our winter--that makes the babies available in our summer or fall. Some species, like Zebras and Societies, can be bred any time of the year in the US, so they are available year round. Gouldians can be bred about any time, except during their molting period, so breeders often try to manipulate this to accommodate their schedule.

I was wondering about finches for sale in the U.S.A. I am interested in Star and cordon bleu finches.
